Keeper of the Flame (1942), terrifyingly outlining the Farage and Bannon playbook in 2 minutes. Life imitating art. Unbelievably prophetic almost to a tee.

When everything old is new again.

My ★★★½ review of "Holiday" on Letterboxd

A ★★★½ review of Holiday (1938)

They say comedy is just tragedy filmed in long shot, and that's where this one excels. Cukor knowing when to do close-ups, inserts and long-shots blends the comedy and drama so well. A screwball comed...

"The Philadelphia Story" was released #OnThisDay in 1940; #GeorgeCukor's romantic comedy features wonderful performances by #CaryGrant, #KatharineHepburn & Jimmy Stewart, with elements of the comedy of manners as well as screwball comedy & I never tire of it...

The African Queen

During WWI in East Africa a riverboat captain is convinced by an English missionary to travel a dangerous river and use his boat to take on a German gunship. A must see!

#filmsky The Sea of Grass is an underrated, unfairly maligned movie. I'll admit, not a super thrilling plot, but grounded in a real sense of place & time, a way of life, then beginning a gradual decline...
#KatharineHepburn & #SpencerTracy are both great here, and early Robert Walker.
